Lady Brown and Family I pray that each of you are doing well. I miss my dear brother and confident today as I did in 2016. That was a year of sadness for our families. The same God that summoned Dr. Brown also summoned Lady Sims. Though they both are sadly missed we remain joyful in the Lord. Dr. Brown is rejoicing in Heaven seeing how his legacy continues through his children. Pastor Keaton Brown has been blessed to be a fruitful example of father's teachings. God bless you all and remember: LOVE IS WHAT LOVE DOES!

Brother Pastor Dr. Frederick Brown will trully be miss. I think his pastorship will speak for itself. He pastor as a good shephard at the St. John Congregation for many years. He always welcome you with open arms. When I was down with an illness, Pastor Brown was there for me through my procedures and surgery. He fought a good fight to the end and he will be with us again on that great day of our Lord Jesus return in his Glory.

This great teacher will be deeply missed. I still remember the first time I him over 20 years ago and I still use the illustration he taught regarding God being the center of our lives. He was personable and took the time to get to know people by name. Not only your name, but he always went a little deeper and demonstrated a genuine interest in the person. I pray that his family will carry on the legacy of this great man. Family you have my deepest and sincere condolences.

Dr. Fred Brown was a great husband, father, grandfather, friend, pastor, preacher and instructor. How was loved by the Sims Family and others. Dr. Brown was a true champion for Christ. He is absent from the body and present with the Lord. We love you brother, our friend, sleep and take your rest. There will be a getting up when the trump shall sound. Family, keep the faith as you continue living and serving the Lord.
